I Was Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in a Different World, so I Decided to Make Bricks to Build a Castle - Chapter 296

A church in the city of Fontana.

There were knights gathering from Fontana territory.

Soon, at a time when the years will change, knights will usually gather from all over Fontana territory, but there are many of them.

Of course.

Fontana territory has tripled in the past year.

However, the difference is that knights gather a little earlier than usual.

This is usually a New Year's greeting to the lord of the aristocracy who ruled the territory, but only this year will Carlos die at his funeral.

After all, Carlos' funeral was in the winter before the end of the year.

Even if Carlos' funeral is largely performed, it is necessary to gather knights from all over the place, and it is difficult to do so many times, so the idea is to give the opportunity to gather at once.

That's why it's time for Carlos' funeral to start in about 10 days.

The knights gathered in the snow and sinking.

Most of the knights who ruled the old Uluk district came to Fontana.

However, there are a few knights in charge of the Arbarest district of the former Arbarest Territory.

This is because the west has not yet fully stabilized due to the less time it took to take territory from the Arbarest family.

The Ikes are coming to Ghana, but Vargas remains in Arbarest to defend the territory.

But still, a lot of knights gathered.

Carlos' funeral took place there.

Carlos is sleeping in a coffin placed in the church.

Even so, the body was not satisfied with the five bodies.

They must have been attacked during the King's escort and had a very intense fight.

There are parts of the body that have been wounded and lost.

Rather, the convoy was destroyed and even the surviving Leon fled with his own body.

Carlos' body, which was recovered later, was badly damaged.

However, Carlos, who was sleeping in the coffin, seemed to be sleeping with a calm face.

There was an emblem with the meme to restore the body.

Bishop Paul mourns the coffin containing Carlos' body.

He prays to the body of Carlos in the coffin, and then explains to the knights gathered a thankful speech and a prayer.

It's finally over.

"Alas von Barca, Knight of the Holy Knight, forward."

Ha.

"Dedicate your prayers to Carlos de Fontana, the ancient leader of the Fontana family, as the current leader of the Fontana family."

"Yes, Carlos, I'll take care of the rest. Let's make sure we survive the Fontana family."

At the end of the funeral, Bishop Paul called me out and I sent Carlos my last words.

That's how I activated my magic.

This is the [Ice Spirit Summon], the top magic of the Fontana family.

An ice spell with a sphere of blue light called by my spell floats around.

I ordered the ice sperm.

I was trying to freeze it in Carlos's coffin.

The next moment, the inside of the coffin was frozen to bits.

Apparently, this is how the Fontana family will perform their funeral.

Does it have the meaning of sending the previous Master with a superior magic that can only be used by the current Master?

Originally, it should be done by the next main player, Garold, but that's not up to the toddlers.

That's why I replaced him.

The same goes for the speeches I made before, but this kind of performance is unexpectedly good.

Thus, I succeeded in showing the knights gathered from all over the territory who was leading Fontana.

"Happy New Year, Arus. We pledge to work for the Fontana family again this year."

Carlos' funeral took place, and a little time later, the New Year's greeting took place.

After the funeral, snow piled up and the brand name "Carlos de Fontana" was used as a new alcohol for the knights who had nothing else to offer at the funeral, which seems to have earned them a better rating than we expected.

I might have liked the high frequency in particular.

Everyone was drinking magnificently while mourning Carlos' death.

By the way, I've barely drank it because I'm still a child, but I'm impressed that it's something that I can drink so well.

After a few days of booze, it was I who dealt with the knights who came to greet the New Year at the dawn of the year.

Everyone bows their heads to me.

But it's a surprisingly large number, and this is the end of the day.

I often thought Carlos was doing this.

"Ah, Arus-sama, what is this all about? This year's tax revenues will be paid to Fontana. Is this a mistake?

"No, it's not a mistake. Now that I'm in charge of the territory, I want to make sure I pay the tax."

"But this is too much of anything. You can't pay taxes like this."

"I don't think so. It is calculated by taking the area of the field from the size of the land and predicting the amount of wheat that can be harvested. We're at a pretty affordable level."

"Such an idiot. Never before has such a harvest been made. If you did the calculation, it's probably the wrong result."

"... oh, I see. Aren't you improving your Balkan farmland? Agricultural land improvement is a sufficiently achievable figure, so let's redevelop the land."

"Oh no... Barca's farmland improvement is about the dispatch of your men, isn't it? Isn't it strange to pay tax revenues that can't be achieved without it?"

"That's not true. Rather, if we improve farmland, we should be able to secure more finances than ever before by paying taxes to the Fontana family so that they can afford surpluses. Even so, it is negligent of duty not to do so. In some cases, it may be judged that there are no qualities to rule the land, so please consider."

"Gu, I see. Let's think about it."

Of course, it takes time to talk to each knight because there is something to talk about.

The most common one was about tax revenues.

Basically, we order knights with territory to pay taxes to the Fontana family, the superior ruler, from the taxes collected on the land.

But that was the problem.

In Fontana territory, there is a clear distinction between land where wheat can be taken and land where it cannot.

Moreover, it is not a factor such as terrain.

It was very different whether or not he had ever asked Balka to improve his farmland.

In the Balkan dispatch project that I was doing, I was improving farmland to knights everywhere, but the yields of all the land that I asked for were rising dramatically.

But not all Knights were asking for farmland improvements.

Anyway, we were asking for money.

It was up to the knighthood to make a request.

But when I became the principal agent in Fontana territory, I decided that the taxes would be neat in the vastness of the fields.

There is a difference in yields on land not maintained by Balkans of the same size.

And what I used to calculate was the yield on the former's improved farmland.

That made it impossible to pay taxes on old farmland first.

The knights of the land are blaming us, but we can't give up either.

After all, how to raise tax revenues in Fontana territory is also an important issue for me.

I'm sorry to bother them, but even if I owe them money, I'll have them improve their farmland.

Thus, the new year began with the management of a territory where Fontana's knights and bees competed.
